The high and the low since 1 am this past Saturday
A roller coaster of a week. That is how the president of the Oconee Chamber of Commerce describes major events impacting Oconee County. Dari McBride says there’s exciting news of a groundbreaking for a new manufacturing outfit to be located inside the Industry and Technology Park on highway 11. Over five years, a $30 million investment and 215 jobs. Yet, as McBride laments, it’s a sad time to learn of the passing of the Westminster Councilman and popular restaurateur Yousef Mefleh. McBride predicts that it will be felt for a long time, the passing of 67-year old Mefleh, a Mideast countryman by birth who often proclaimed his love for America and his adopted city of Westminster.
